Bernard,
The only remains still present on the Gravel Hill site (at the extreme eastern end of Perran Sands) are the a part of the plinth and the loadings for the winding engine, plus the discernible base of the site of the stack of the pumping engine. At the base of the cliff some cavernous workings show the extent of the lode outcrop, and also on the cliff top may be traced the incline up which ore was wound.
Regards,
Tony Clarke
